CORRIEDALE: NEW PROMO, IMAGES AND CASTING FOR ITV SOAP CROSSOVER SPECIAL

ITV has released a new breathtaking trailer for the iconic soap crossover, Corriedale. The atmospheric promo reveals details of the catastrophic pile up and teases more  characters who might be in jeopardy as the two worlds of Coronation Street and Emmerdale collide.

New characters confirmed as being amongst the residents of Weatherfield and Emmerdale caught up in the drama are Corrie’s Kit Green, James Bailey, Asha Alahan, Carla Connor and Shona Platt whilst Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle, Sarah Sugden, Charity Dingle, Jacob Gallagher, Robert Sugden and Joe Tate are added to the previously announced David Platt, Tracy Barlow, Liam Cavanagh, Aaron Dingle and Lisa Swain.

In the aftermath of the multiple vehicle smash Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) takes control of the situation whilst a frantic Carla Connor (Alison King) can be seen trying to calm someone down.

Injured Shona and David Platt (Julia Goulding and Jack P Shepherd) are tended to at the roadside by Emmerdale paramedic Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant), whilst Corrie’s own trainee paramedic Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) shares the screen with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) as she tries to help more casualties.

Both shows have pregnant women caught up in the drama, Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) can be seen trying to help a screaming Shona in a scene in Hotton General Hospital. 

And as the trailer draws to a close Kevin and Abi Webster (Michael Le Vell and Sally Carman-Duttine)  search for Debbie at the crash site, while a desperate Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) screams out for Aaron in the darkness alongside Joe Tate (Ned Porteous).

The hour long Corriedale episode will air at 8pm on January 5th - it will not be dropped earlier in the day on ITVX.
